Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
I have worn these shoes lightly for 3 months and they have split and are not fit for purpose (light walking). this is the second pair of shoddy North Face shoes I have purchased in the last two years. I will no longer buy any products from a brand which clearly does not have high design/manufacturing quality. I note that my complaints are similar to many other for these shoes and yet North Face does not appear to care

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
The shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and they really look great. I initially used them for the gym and short walks and they worked and felt great. I then decided to go for a run in them, they feel like a lightweight trail runner but they fell apart on my first run. I have developed large tears in the upper material. Its very unfortunate because initially I really liked them but they should not be used for running or hiking. Keep them in the gym.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
Really short life span on the upper fabric. I have owned these 6 or 8 weeks now and have worn thru the fabric where it flexes. I am really disappointed because they are so comfortable and minimal...light and flexible...easy to put on and nice looking. The sole material also bleeds into the fabric of the shoe showing thrugh the side on the arch portion of the shoe.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
The product didn't receive all good reviews. Many complained that the show wasn't as durable as hoped, but I like the model of shoe. I traded the shoes and got a sweatshirt, but I know I would have liked the shoes and I know they would have been durable because Northface products are ensured to be high quality.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
Last pair of shoes I bought lasted me over 2 years while these shoes didn't last 2 months. Material has ripped apart and I only wear the shoes for everyday shoes and never once used them while doing anything physical such as running or hiking. This is the second North Face product that has been poor in quality! It's pretty obvious with North Face your paying for the name not for quality! I'm done with this company!

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA KILOWATT TRAINER:
Use these for working out. Not best for long distance running, over a mile or more. But good for general work out. Avid crossfitter and they work well. Only downside is the upper mesh does breakdown compared to the other materials in the shoe. I have to agree with other ratings on this point. Its the weak link, but I've had mine for about 7 months now and they are holding together. Use them 5 days/week for working out.

The fabric started ripping after wearing.
Used them for casual wear and walking.
The worst shoe I have ever had.
This has turned me off to North Face products!
